Check out the bios on the website-- Miss DC is obviously the coolest. From a feminist blue-state perspective, of course.

You know, by that "being different is hard" rationale, perhaps minorities shouldn't be allowed to breed anymore. After all, being a minority and "different" from the mainstream culture is different. Also, I'm sure growing up in foster care is infinitely better than having two gay parents. Definitely.

The amount of stupid in that video makes me mad.

@Mafalda para Presidente: I'll do another twist. Different is hard on kids. The answer to that is not necessarily to ban the different, but to make different normal.

So: The first kid in school to have two gay parents will feel awful, because he's different. When a whole bunch of kids in school have gay parents, there'll be no reason to feel odd.

Ugh. Some of those girls remind me too much of some people I went to college with. Except in my college everyone would have prayed before starting the speech. The crazy eyes give them away.

Miss Iowa makes me almost happy that i recently traded in my Iowa drivers license for a Virginia one. Although I haven't seen Miss Virginia, so that may be a bit rash.

Seriously though, last year's miss Iowa was prime. She was absolutely amazing at baton twirling, but then they did this horrible elimination thing and had her on stage in her talent costume ready to perform, and then told her she was out. Miss America has been soured for me ever since.

"Over-exaggerate"? Really? I imagine Gretchen Carlson is a big fan of English as the national language, so it would be nice if she stopped butchering it. For the sake of those young, impressionable role models. You know.

Go Miss Minnesota! So very concise and to the point. Gretchen's face in response was GOLD.

Dear Miss Iowa, I too will be a teacher. Except because I am gay I will clearly be teaching all of my students to pack a box lunch. I'm denna, here to recruit all of your 6th graders.

@denna: But what about the balance of males and females a child needs in their life? You know, because single parent homes don't exist at all and every child raised by heterosexual parents always a) has both parents living in the home with them, b) actively participating in raising the child and c) turns out to be straight.

This show was the biggest mess I have ever seen. If anything, it makes me want to watch the pageant less than I already do, which was not their point at all. It was completely weird. But this section was so insane that it made it worth watching, just so I could stare at the screen and yell, "WTF, Miss America?!" which is an opportunity you just don't get often enough these days.

@hortense: No less than half these girls made my "vapid whore" detector go off. And many of them were not well-informed or well-spoken either. Most seemed entirely superficial, which is (not) exactly the kind of people that I want to spend my evening watching on TV.

@hortense: Just do what I do, and follow last year's winner around the place. You wouldn't believe the number of times a day I get to yell "WTF, Miss America?!".

Although once the restraining order goes through I'm going to have to yell a lot louder.

Or, just have them in one-on-one debates w/ Megyn Kelly instead:

It is sad that she serves him for being an idiot, yet he is able to get away with such blatant, indefensible condescension (hint - he's male).

Commence caterwauling!

Right on to the girl that wants sex education and prevention! Maybe not in 5th grade, but whatever! Also, hell yeah Miss Minnesota and gay adoption!

@musicpup is worth twenty camels: The sad thing is that Miss Minnesota had such wonderful points to make, and Gretchen Carlson even said, "Miss Minnesota has a great story and is really passionate," but then Carlson gave her wild card to the ditzy, bubbly blonde who tried to argue against Miss Minnesota (and gay adoption) using sentence fragments and blank stares. What a fucking joke.

@sylie: I love the "we can't let the gays adopt because it's hard for kids to be different" rationale. It's awesome because everyone with heterosexual parents is exactly the same. Besides, it's not like kids need stable homes or anything like that & that there's not a surplus of children needing homes ...

The lack of enthusiasm for Gretchen is amazing. I, personally, would have had the "bish plz" look on my face. Or I may have just walked out then and there, knowing that I had no chance in hell of winning the thing.

On, and "girl in the middle" reminds of Kahlin from like Cycle 2 of ANTM which makes me instantly love her and hate myself for knowing who that is . . .

With the amount of make-up they're using, you'd think they'd be able to hide their emotions a little better . . .
